Once again we are waiting another 6 weeks for a recheck on Jonathon's ears. This time he has no fluid in the right ear and some fluid in the left ear.
I am beginning to get frustrated again too. I don't want to put Jonathon through another surgery if he doesn't need it. I don't want to put off another surgery if it's the best solution for Jonathon.
I have been going to ENT appointments for almost 1 year now. This all started last January.
Jonathon has only had 1 ear infection. Jonathon has passed 3 booth hearing tests. And this is the first year that we have made it through August, September and October without a sinus infection. The fluid goes away and then comes back. At first I thought this was a good thing, but after our appointment Monday night I am beginning to question my judgement. I think it's time to just let him have the surgery.
Now that Jonathon is older and beginning to talk quite well I do not want to hold him back and I know when there is fluid everything is muffled. I do not know from experience, I have never had this problem.
We go back in December, if there is fluid still we will be discussing surgery.
So now I am asking for information. Instead of me searching the web I know one friend(Stephanie and Aiden)www.aisforaiden.com who is always full of good information and knowledge. If you have any please email me!
Well, if his ENT thinks another set of tubes is needed, then go for it. It is a simple procedure and he is home that day. Has Jonathan seen an audiologist yet?
ReplyDeleteIf it's just the fluid, then has he had his adenoids out? That made a difference with Aiden (not necessarily a big one) but he hasn't had any sinus infections either. He still has a lot of sinus drainage, but I think it may be hereditary and living location.
